Commission a Painting

Every commission starts with a conversation. Whether you have a clear vision or just a feeling — a place you love, a person you want to remember, a pet, a home, a moment — Kenda will work with you to bring it to life in watercolour.

How it works

1 — Get in touch

Fill in the form below with as much or as little as you know. Kenda will get back to you within a day or two for a friendly chat about your ideas.

2 — Discuss & agree

Together you’ll agree on the subject, size, and format. Kenda will confirm the price and timescale, and ask for a reference photo if needed.

3 — Painted with care

Kenda paints your piece in her Ellesmere studio. You’ll receive updates along the way, and the finished painting is delivered or collected when complete.

Send an enquiry

Use the form to tell Kenda what you have in mind. There’s no obligation — she’ll come back to you with a friendly reply and any questions she has.

    What Kenda paints

    Any subject — Kenda doesn’t specialise in one thing because she finds everything worth painting. Past commissions have included:

    • Houses, cottages, and gardens
    • Pets and animals
    • Portraits and family scenes
    • Local landscapes and landmarks
    • Boats, harbours, and waterscapes
    • Flowers and botanical subjects
    • Favourite places with personal meaning

    Prices vary by size and complexity — Kenda will discuss this with you directly. Commissions make wonderful personalised gifts.
